A fantastic well appointed 3 bedroomed home. This rental was one of the top places we visited during our 6 week vacation during the summer of 2008. Immaculately maintained and decorated to a very high and modern standard throughout.
This was a great base to use for a family and it is so reasonably priced during the summer months; this home simply cannot be beaten.
For relaxing moments there's the outdoor deck and hut tub, although we did not get the opportunity to use the tub as we were so busy.
This is a lovely home from home. We were very comfortable here and the children did not not want to leave which just about sums it up. Nice owners too and we hope to return again in the future.

| We had a great visit with our son who recently moved to Salt Lake City. This is a very comfortable home with plenty of room to spread out and relax after a full day of activities. Our three boys had a chance to bond as we prepared meals and late night snacks. It truly was a home away from home! We hope to use it again the next time that we are in the area. Thanks for providing such a nice home for our family to gather. |

| We had a girl's weekend here and it was wonderful! We had plenty of room for everyone (8 adults and 1 child) and it was great soaking in the jacuzzi after a long day of shopping and sightseeing. We loved everything about the house and will stay again if we are in the area. Thanks! |

| My buddies and I just returned from a 5 day ski trip, and we were all very well pleased with our stay at the Merrill's house. The house was very spacious and had plenty of room for 7 adult guys. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. Plenty of rooms and beds for all of us....1 King, 2 twins, 1 set of bunk beds with a pullout trundle, a queen sleeper sofa, and a futon. The Merrill's and their management staff were very friendly and helpful. Thanks so much! |

| We were fortunate to be able to spend Christmas at this home. It was perfect for six adults; great layout for cooking, talking, eating, watching movies, etc. Sleeping accomodations were comfortable and plenty. The view is superb and there was so much to do that we'll need to visit again! |

Exactly what you need for New Year Celebration: big house, great view, jakuzi and slide to a snow pile!
It's just 15 minutes to the mountain road which goes to Alta/Snowbird ski resorts. |

Thank you for providing a spacious, well-appointed
home at such a reasonable rate. We had plenty of
room for 2 adults and 3 teenagers to be together and
to spend time doing our own things too. Furnishings
are very comfortable, especially the beds. Great views!

It was so nice to have a place to call home for the
two weeks we were in Utah. Unfortunately we were
so busy sightseeing that we didn't get to spend
enough time there but the house was everything
we'd hoped for. We enjoyed the hot tub after long
days checking out SLC and area. The beds were
amazing! No sore backs after vacation in this home.
Thanks, we'll come back if we journey that way
again. |

I just wanted to let you know what a great time that we had staying in your home. It was so nice for my family to stay together, cook, play, relax rather than several hotel rooms. We were coming in from different parts of the country so we were able to spend some quality time together. The veiws we just amazing and it was so fun to watch the para sailing. We hope to use it again the next time that we are there. Thanks again!

We had a fabulous time and we thank you for the accomodation. It was all we could have asked for. We used the kitchen every morning and night, and slept very well. The hot tub was nice. It will be at the top of our list of places to stay in the future.

Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful vacation. Your place is even better than the VRBO description and pictures led us to believe. The view of SLC at night from the hot tub was incredible and the warm waters helped restore our muscles for the next day of skiing. Everyone also enjoyed watching the paragliders soaring above the hillside.

We thoroughly our 5 night stay at the Merrill's beautiful home. We especially enjoyed the gorgeous view from the back of the home. The Merrills were very helpful in all of the driving directions and local information given to us. It was our first time to take our three boys skiing and we're so glad we were able to stay in such a comfortable home.
Thanks,

This is the place stay for convenient access to Snowbird and Alta. We bypassed all central city traffic and were in the Canyon in 15 to 20 minutes. Total travel time from the Merrill Draper home was less than 35 minutes at any time of day to the two resorts.
The accommodations are great for a family of eight to stretch out and be at home. The garage was a great help as we loaded and unloaded gear. We had two major winter storms that covered the house and area in a Winter Wonderland White! The kids made snowmen and came in for hot cocoa. The Jacuzzi was a hit as we relaxed our tired muscles after a day of fun of the slopes.
Like all good things, it must come to end. I would recommend this home to anyone with a family skiing either Snowbird or Alta. We will be going and staying at this home again!

| This home was the perfect place to stay! There was plenty of room for our family of seven. It was very kid friendly with a slide off the back porch and swings in the back yard. There was also a park up an adjacent street which was great for our children. Our stay was in the fall and it was beautiful! The day and night time views were awesome. The house was warm and homely making the vacation relaxing and enjoyable. When we make another trip to Utah, this will be our first choice of a place to stay. Thank you! |

Part of our Polynesian Dance Group stayed in this wonderful home for four nights, as we were in Utah to perform. I will tell everyone in Hawaii about this Draper home, because it was clean, has great views, and was located between the two cities we had to travel to/from. The hot tub kept us warm, too!

We had a wonderful family vacation in this comfortable Draper home. The sunsets from the deck were spectacular.
This home has an excellent location, and not just for skiing. Lots to do in the area, great restaurants. Our kids loved the Museum of Ancient Life. A very family friendly home and city.

| The Merrill's house is a wonderful place to stay for a Utah ski trip. Myself and 4 of my friends spent 6 nights recently. It was extremely convenient to both Little & Big Cottonwood canyons. It was less than 30 minutes to Alta/Snowbird and Brighton/Solitude. It was very convenient to the airport and only 45 minutes to Park City. It was roomy, modern and extremely quiet. If you want access to all ski areas and the city I would highly recommend staying at the Merrills. |

We spent a wonderful week in Mo Merrill's home in
Draper, UT, skiing at Alta and Snowbird in Little
Cottonwood Canyon. The home is modern and warm,
with views of the valley. It is set up on the side of the
foothills and is convenient to the highway and all of
the ski areas.
